Set to the Darth Vader theme music, a tricky hacker has posted a video of this machine supporting any coffee pod you see fit by simply strategically placing a bit of tape and mustering "not much aim". He then puts his "One Love" Marley coffee pod into the machine and produces some delicious hot drink straight into the awaiting "Life's Good" mug below.

This hack comes courtesy of Keurighack.com which claims that this 'evil' system can be bested by snipping a small section from the lid of a company-branded Keurig "K-cup" and taping it over the lid of the 'rebel' pod. This strip is all you need to electronically fool the Keurig machine into thinking the pod is legit.

A five-year-old boy has become the youngest person in the world to pass Microsoft's Certified Professional exam. Ayan Qureshi is still in his first year as a student at Clifford Bridge Primary School, in the UK, but in his spare time he is now considered an IT expert with his new certificate proving it.

Qureshi said he found the exam difficult, but he enjoyed it, adding: "There were multiple choice questions, drag and drop questions, hotspot questions, and scenario based questions". His father said that the hardest thing was explaining the language in a test, in a way that a five-year-old could understand. The young boy has an excellent memory, a trait that led to him excelling in the test.

His father introduced him to computers when he was just three years old, and from there he has obviously learned quite a bit in two years. His father added: "I found whatever I was telling him, the next day he'd remember everything I said, so I started to feed him more information". When Ayan turned up to sit for the exam, supervisors were concerned he was too young, but his father said it would be fine, which he most obviously was.

Police have confirmed that multiple suspicious packages have turned up on the doorstep of the New Zealand Herald office in Auckland, as well as the New Zealand Parliament.

The first package arrived at the NZ Herald with a note that it contained the deadly Ebola virus, while another bottle turned up at Parliament House in Wellington. Both bottles included a letter attached, warning that the bottles had Ebola inside. Police said in a statement: "Wellington Police have secured a package delivered to the Parliament mailroom today with the assistance of the Army's Explosive Ordnance Disposal team". The authorities continued: "An initial examination of the package has shown it may be similar to a package received in Auckland this morning which referenced Ebola. It contained a document and a small plastic bottle with a small amount of liquid in it".

New Zealand Police talked with Mashable, saying: "A small amount of liquid in a plastic bottle sent to the Herald has been secured by Auckland City Police after it arrived in a suspicious package this morning, Herald management implemented the appropriate processes around suspicious packages and called police to attend the mail room at about 9.30am". The bottle, and its contents, are now secured and have been sent to The Institute of Environmental Science and Research, where they'll be swabbed for DNA and fingerprints.

Michael Schumacher, the Formula 1 legend that is known throughout the world, had a terrible accident earlier in the year which left him with "horrific brain injuries". The accident happened while he was skiing with his family, but he is now "waking up very slowly". Schumacher's 15-year-old son, Mick, has been telling various media that his father is finally waking up.

Jean-Louis Moncent, a French F1 commentator, talked with Europe 1 radio station where he said: "I saw his son and he told me that Schumi is waking up very slowly; very slowly. Although things are going at a slow pace, he has a lot of time, I would say he has his whole life in front of him to get back on track". Moncet also said just how Schumacher was injured, as he hit a rock during his fall. Moncet added: "The problem for Michael was not the hit, but the mounting of the Go-Pro camera that he had on his helmet that injured his brain".

With all of the conflicts the US has been involved with since 9/11, and the decades prior, one would think they would be masters of conflict, battle knowledge, strategy, and so much more. But, it looks like Washington think tank is asking for help, in a very weird place: by hiring the maker of Call of Duty, to envision the future of war for the US.

The Atlantic Council think tank says that even with all of its money, power and capabilities, the United States isn't thinking creatively when it comes to threats in the 21st century. The creator behind the Call of Duty franchise, Dave Anthony, will be among other authors, screenwriters and entertainment figures for an initiative called 'The Art of Future War Project', something that will launch next week.

The idea of this project came about when former Pentagon official Steven Grundman walked in on his son playing Call of Duty: Black Ops II, in which a cold war between China and the United States takes place, in 2025. In the game, the two superpowers are fighting against each other for rare earth elements in section missions. Anthony said: "He was struck how realistic our portrayal in 'Call of Duty: Black Ops II' was of a future conflict.

The Internet has been ablaze for the better part of the day, with countless celebrity nudes leaked onto the Internet. Where is this leak coming from? Well, it's being reported that celebrities' iCloud accounts have some how been accessed, with the exploit seeming to stem from Apple's 'Find My iPhone' service.

The developers of ibrute announced around 24 hours ago that there was a bug in the Find My iPhone service, which could imply that hackers gained access to AppleIDs, and from there, there are many ways that iCloud accounts could be accessed. If this method was used, the hackers would have needed email addresses of the celebrities in order to leak out their photos. Even still, the hackers would only need a couple of email addresses, and then search the inboxes for the celebrity-in-questions friends' email addresses.

But don't fret, the developers have confirmed that the exploit within the Find My iPhone has been patched up, but has the damage already been done? Shockingly, 4Chan has reportedly pulled the original thread with all of the pictures, which is something that I thought I'd never see. We've reached out to Anand for a comment, but haven't heard back just yet.

I'm sure you've heard of the ALS ice bucket challenge by now, but I'm sure you didn't hear that the ALS Association had filed trademarks on the phrases "ALS ice bucket challenge" and "ice bucket challenge" on August 22, which was met with controversy.

With over $94 million raised for the cause, greedy people could see the reasoning behind trying to trademark it, but after much criticism after filing the trademarks with the United States Patent & Trademark Office, the group removed its applications. Legal experts have said that trademarking both issues is not only in poor taste, but it is also hard to believe that two charity organizations would go after each other in court, especially over something that is raising money for the disease.

What do you think of ALS Association's attempt at trademarking the ice bucket challenge? Have you taken part in it?

Popular microblogging social network Twitter has said it will now officially comply with requests from family members to remove pictures and videos of the recently dead.

A spokesperson, Nu Wexler, said that Twitter will remove imagery of the dead in "certain circumstances" and will so so to "respect the wishes of loved ones." "When reviewing such media removal requests," Wexler said, "Twitter considers public interest factors such as the newsworthiness of the content and may not be able to honor every request."

However, family members will be expected to provide documentation that proves they're within rights to make the request. These requests will be valid from "when critical injury occurs to the moments before or after death," Twitter morbidly outlined.

The Premier League has announced it will be targeting users of the Vine social network who are uploading unauthorized video clips of goals onto the internet.

As the soccer season begins, the Premier League has warned that any footage from it belongs to the organisation - and that uploading even brief sections of it, such as goal videos, onto the internet is in breach of copyright. The Premier League's Dan Johnson said it was "ultimately against the law", adding that the League will be introducing automated bots to sniff out unauthorized usage online, as well as for gifs. He said that the League will actively be cooperating with Twitter.

Vine allows users to post and share very brief videos. Many fans sharing material will naturally be doing it for the love of the game. But TV networks, which are paying record sums in the billions for broadcasting rights, will want to discourage behavior they view as ways to watch for free.

A 26 year old Californian man has been sentenced to nearly two years in prison for shining laser pointers at a passing police helicopter.

Brett Lee Scott, 26, of Buttonwillow, claimed that he was "bored" and agreed to a plea deal with prosecutors. As Ars Technica reports, court filings show Scott had been allegedly shining the laser pointers towards the helicopter over a six month period.

Although it may seem innocuous, powerful laser pointers can quite easily blind pilots - with the worst case scenario being the crashing of an aircraft. No injuries resulted in this case, but the prosecution is a clear sign the law's taking the potential of such threats seriously.
